We are surprised about raising so much money for UNICEF! I raised $4.76. Bennett didn't know his amount. In our class, we raised one hundred dollars. Four kids will get an emergency kit and a first aid kit. What other things can we get for UNICEF?

I am so exited that we raised so much money for UNICEF! We raised about ninety-eight dollars, but Mrs. Yollis put in some MORE money so we had one hundred dollars!

Here were the choices that were available:

25¢ gives 10 kids clean water to drink for a day.

$1 pays for protein biscuits for a starving child.

$17 keeps a kid safe from 6 killer diseases.

$24 supplies an emergency first aid kit.

Here is the two that we couldn't buy:

$257 buys a School-in-a-Box so kids can learn anywhere.$500 provides a water pump for a village or school.

If you were one of the people who didn't have food or was thirsty, what would you want from what we can buy? I would buy the $17 one that will keep one kid from killer diseases and the 25¢ water for ONLY one day.

We raised more quarters than any other coin or dollar bills. We got fifteen dollar bills and one five-dollar bill. We got every single type of coin except the half-dollar coin. What is your favorite coin or bill and why? My dog and my favorite coin was the shiny half-dollar coin. My dog and I like it because it is shiny as a diamond. We also like it because it is big and smooth.

When I donated money to UNICEF I felt really good inside. It makes me happy to know that the money I donated could give water to a thirsty child or food to a hungry child. I hope my small act of kindness can help brighten someone's day!

How does it feel to help someone? How does it feel to have someone help you?
